Subject: arthritis from exercise????

Hey guys! I took up running a while back in the hope that it would strengthen my legs ( i suffer from a mild limp due to cerebral palsy). However since iv been running regularly my limp has become more pronounced. I then decided to stop running.A month later i developed groin pain. Its not unbareable but its been nagging my for a while. My leg is becoming really stiff too and my range of movement is limited. Before i started running i had none of these symptoms. Is it possible that hip arthiritis has been an underlying problem waiting to surface once i started exercise that would work the hip?
Cheers.

have you had a diagnosis wriggers? Personally, I think running is bad for the joints but lots of people would disagree with me! I used to go to the gym but never again, and not just because I've now got RA.

I agree bsk running is hard on the joints, when any one has any kind of arthur issues. The gym can been a real problem also, after tennis elbow op i was told by surgeon no more gym. Gentle excercise is far better for us. Wriggers maybe a Drs appoinment for a chat would be helpful. Take Care
